Hearing Bai Yu's words, Qin Yuxi was utterly stunned.
She had assumed something like this was one of a kind. After all, the people on Gu Refining Peak failed at refining gu more often than they ate each day.
Being able to refine a gu that raised magical power without harming one's foundation, even allowing a breakthrough of half a stage, was already no easy feat.
Yet Bai Yu said he still had more than three hundred of them!
This guy really had come to do business!
Li Shishi, standing nearby, was equally astonished. Before coming here, Bai Yu had never told her that he possessed something so terrifying.
Bai Yu had only said that he wanted her to take him to Joyous Union Peak, preferably introduce him to someone she knew, because he had something he planned to sell her...
At that thought, Li Shishi inexplicably felt a little regretful. When it came to contribution points and spirit stones, who in the entire Heavenly Demon Sect could compare to their Alchemy Peak?
Pills were consumables and had always been hard currency throughout the Eternal Continent. The value of a single alchemist was worth that of ten disciples at the same cultivation realm.
Go ask around—which alchemist had ever lacked money?
And now, these Three-Eyed Wine Worms were going to come cheap to Joyous Union Peak.
"Senior Sister, do you think Joyous Union Peak can accept this price?"
Seeing Qin Yuxi remain silent, Bai Yu prompted her.
He wanted spirit stones too badly—he dreamed of them!
Only with spirit stones and contribution points could he improve himself!
At his words, Qin Yuxi came back to her senses. Looking at Bai Yu, her seductive peach-blossom eyes blinked before she finally spoke.
"Of course. Joyous Union Peak will take these Three-Eyed Wine Worms. But there are too many of them for me to swallow alone. I'll notify an elder and have her purchase them all together."
Qin Yuxi rose to her feet and said warmly.
"Oh, right, Junior Sister Li. I suddenly remembered—the Bone-Piercing Grass you wanted has been found for you by Wan'er. She asked me to notify you several days ago, but unfortunately, you never had the time."
"The Snow Phoenix Pill you're preparing to refine was only missing this one medicinal herb, wasn't it?"
Qin Yuxi took out a purple bell. Seeming to recall something, she spoke to Li Shishi.
Hearing that, Li Shishi froze for a moment, then a flicker of delight flashed through her eyes.
"They finally acquired it?"
At that thought, Li Shishi did not hesitate.
"Bai Yu, wait here for the elder. I'll come back to get you in a while. Don't run around."
After saying that, Li Shishi greeted Qin Yuxi and headed straight for the door.
Seeing this, Qin Yuxi smiled faintly, her expression gaining a hint of playful amusement.
Watching Li Shishi leave, Bai Yu's heart gave a jolt. He had no idea why, but he had a faintly bad feeling about this...
No, was Senior Sister Li really this naïve? This woman said it, and she believed her?
As Li Shishi left, Qin Yuxi shook the bell. As an echo rang from within it, that bewitchingly beautiful face of hers became even more alluring.
"Junior Brother Bai, come sit with your sister."
Qin Yuxi warmly stepped forward, took Bai Yu's hand, and invited him to sit on the couch. Her movements grew increasingly suggestive.
"Senior Sister, when will the elder arrive?"
Seeing her actions, Bai Yu drew a deep breath, but he could only let Qin Yuxi arrange him like a puppet on strings.
"What elder?"
"My good little brother, how could your sister possibly be unable to afford a mere three thousand spirit stones?"
"Why would an elder need to show up over such a trivial matter?"
"Could it be that you have some misunderstanding about the Heavenly Demon Sect's resources?"
Qin Yuxi said with a smile, her tone brimming with teasing.
He'd been had!
Li Shishi had been thoroughly hoodwinked!
Hearing this, Bai Yu knew his guess had been right. That woman's actions just now had only been meant to send Li Shishi away!
"Then, Senior Sister, what about these Three-Eyed Wine Worms?"
Bai Yu picked up the white jade gourd and placed it in Qin Yuxi's hand, seeming to hesitate before speaking.
"To be honest, the price you set is far too low. And there are only a little over three hundred of them—how could that possibly be enough for Joyous Union Peak to divide up?"
"Not counting official disciples, we have over three thousand inner sect disciples alone."
"Do you think it'll be easy for your sister to distribute them?"
Qin Yuxi stretched out a hand and poked Bai Yu's chest with her finger as she spoke slowly.
"Sell them for two hundred spirit stones each. You take one hundred and fifty, I take fifty. From now on, you'll supply only me. I'll be the one selling the Three-Eyed Wine Worms on Joyous Union Peak. What do you think?"
"You have to let your sister earn a little too, don't you?"
Qin Yuxi spoke slowly.
Hearing this, a glimmer of excitement flashed in Bai Yu's eyes.
A qi-refining-level gu selling for 100 spirit stones or 500 contribution points was already an astronomical price.
He had never expected Qin Yuxi to take the initiative to raise the price. This way, although she would take fifty spirit stones in her role as agent, he would correspondingly earn an extra share as well.
From Qin Yuxi's words, it was clear that the Three-Eyed Wine Worm held immense appeal for cultivators. Once it entered the market, it would undoubtedly cause a massive sensation.
Even if Bai Yu did not want to cooperate this way, it would not be realistic. After all, he was merely a formal disciple and did not have a background like Li Shishi's.
When the time came, if inner sect disciples came knocking to ask for gu, could he refuse?
If he agreed to one but refused another, would that not mean indirectly offending someone?
But handing things over to Qin Yuxi was different. As his agent, she could resolve many troubles. After all, her status and cultivation were there for all to see.
With her around, all he had to do was focus on refining gu and wait peacefully to collect spirit stones.
More importantly, Qin Yuxi was exceptionally skilled with her words. What she had planned was only Joyous Union Peak, which meant he could follow the same pattern with the other peaks and eventually build his own network of connections!
"Senior Sister, you've truly given me a huge surprise!"
Hearing Qin Yuxi's words, Bai Yu said with a smile.
There was simply no reason for him to refuse something mutually beneficial like this.
"Is that so?"
"Senior Sister has never cheated anyone—especially not someone as handsome as you."
Qin Yuxi smiled faintly, then leaned even closer.
"Since Senior Sister has been so good to you, shouldn't you repay Senior Sister in some way?"
Qin Yuxi's voice grew even more seductive, enough to make one feel dazed.
"What does Senior Sister mean?"
"Junior Brother Bai, playing dumb is no good. The yin and yang aura around you is so rich, and on top of that, there's that exciting dragon aura. Senior Sister is just one step away from advancing to the Nascent Soul realm. Can't you help Senior Sister?"
"Besides, a genius like you shouldn't be at Gu Refining Peak. The path of yin and yang is the path you should walk."
"Come, Senior Sister will teach you an art. You must comprehend it well afterward."
As she spoke, Qin Yuxi lightly pointed a finger. A golden scroll flew out, and with the infusion of spiritual power, countless golden characters shot forth.
[Eight Desolations Spirit Convergence Art]
Seeing the words above, Bai Yu froze.
"This is a cultivation technique?"
"Yes. This is the cultivation technique Senior Sister has always practiced. It specializes in cultivating the soul, and it was even obtained from the Divine Mountain—one of a kind!"
Qin Yuxi said casually.
Bai Yu looked over the technique's description. This Eight Desolations Spirit Convergence Art was clearly a dual cultivation technique. It was incomparably domineering, with yin and yang complementing each other, allowing both parties to improve simultaneously during cultivation—and it had no side effects!
But judging from the description, the technique seemed incomplete, containing only material up to the Nascent Soul level.
Even so, Bai Yu understood just how valuable this thing was.
Bai Yu still had some doubts about Qin Yuxi's actions. She seemed to have been giving all along—why exactly was that?
But in the next moment, he seemed to understand.
Because Bai Yu suddenly realized that he seemed unable to move!
"Your heart was moved, wasn't it? Come, let Senior Sister properly guide you. And while we're at it, use the dragon aura on your body to help Senior Sister break through to the Nascent Soul realm."
With that, Qin Yuxi directly picked Bai Yu up and walked into the main hall. Soon afterward, a luxurious phoenix carriage appeared.
